Women must not depend upon the protection of
man, but must be taught to
protect herself.
- Susan B. Anthony, July 1871
"[Those]
who are trying to read the Second Amendment
out of the Constitution by claiming it's not an individual right [are]
courting disaster by encouraging others to use the same means to
eliminate
portions of the Constitution they don't like."
- Alan Dershowitz, Harvard Law School
Gun Control: The theory that a woman found dead in an alley,
raped and strangled with her panty hose, is somehow morally
superior to a woman explaining to police how her attacker
got that fatal bullet wound.
Laws that
forbid the carrying of arms... disarm only those who are neither
inclined nor determined to commit crimes... Such laws make things worse
for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to
encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked
with greater confidence than an armed man.’’
— Jefferson's "Commonplace Book," 1774-1776, quoting from On Crimes and
Punishment, by criminologist Cesare Beccaria, 1764
To disarm the people [is] the best and most effectual way to enslave them." George Mason, U.S. Second Amendment Primer
